Figure skating at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics wraps up this week with the women’s singles free skate competition. A winner among the best women’s skaters will be crowned on Thursday after the free skate, or long program. At the conclusion of the women’s short program, Japan’s Ami Nakai was in first place in the women’s singles competition, followed by her Japanese teammate Kaori Sakamoto, and Team USA’s Alysiu Liu was in third. Also representing Team USA are Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito; the three women are known collectively as the “Blade Angels,” and they’ll all be competing in the free skate.
